Seriously, why did I wait until May 3, 2025, to photograph an auto show? It’s got the things I like: reflections, shapes, people who like to talk about their hobbies, car owners who are so happy for you to stop and take pictures of their vehicles.
(I spoke with one gentleman who said, “I bet that you won’t believe I drove that car here from El Paso!” That car he referenced was a 1955 Chevy and a previous Best In Show Low Rider winner. And El Paso? It’s 345 miles away, if you take the short route. From Lubbock, he was driving the car to a big low rider show in Albuquerque*, so now I see that not only have I missed out on car shows, but on LOW RIDER shows, too.)

Hands off a lot of things, in addition to what she mentions on her sign.
Remember the other day when I wrote about the guy in a truck who dusted us with lots of black exhaust as he drove by? This woman gave notes on his performance – she said, “Oh, aren’t you tough?”

fever dream, 7
We called my mom Sugar, which was quite possibly the most appropriate name ever.
And the only thing that would have been would better would be to have had two of her. (Seen here keeping my cousins, my sister, and me in line for a photo. Apparently at least one of us had been identified as a potential runner.)
